Ahhh, but how will you use it? The assumption I've seen
people make it that it'll be part of every pipeline.

That's about as far from the truth as it can get...

Right. A major value of schemas is as a tool to make
tools. 

I may/probably will use XSchemas to validate
the correctness of my application. I most likely
will not use XSchemas to validate my content (except
in some very specific domains).
